Amarie, I am inclined to see the the Ainur [or at least The Valar, and , fallen or not as spiritually and physically 'self sufficient' whether incarnate or not.
Their spirits are so powerful that their bodies 'feed' of them. In a more powerful way than the Elves fea do to their own hroa [in O-K?].
This is my current thought and it mostly based on how I exrapolate the fact that the Silm/X states that the Ainur at festival time ate to re-inforce a symbol[ic relationship] they did not have too. Even Manwe and Varda who presumably along with at least Aule, would have spent a lot of time icarnate.
